Conditions of Sale and Cancellation for the Firm KETS Ltd.
Conditions of Cancellation
(1) The purchaser has the right of cancellation, as laid down in German law under paragraphs 312 and 355 of the Civil Code, if he signs the contract as a consumer. A trader is not covered by this right.
(2) The purchaser can cancel the contract within one month of purchase, without giving reasons, in writing (e.g. by letter, fax or e-mail) or by returning the goods purchased. The period of notice begins when this notification has been received. The cancellation is valid regardless of whether the goods or the cancellation are dispatched within the allotted time.
(3) The cancellation must be sent to: KETS GmbH, Hauptstraße 281,
D-51143 Köln, Germany; Fax +49(0)2203-86712; info@roadbag.de
(4) In the event of a valid cancellation all goods which have already been received must be returned and the interest accruing for that time must be paid. If the received goods can only be returned in part, or only in worse condition, appropriate compensation must be made, even when the wear to the goods has occurred through normal use. This does not apply in cases of damage caused by the purchaser examining the product. Moreover the purchaser can avoid the duty of replacement by not using the goods as an owner and by avoiding any action which could limit its value.
(5) The purchaser must bear the transport costs if the goods are delivered as ordered and if the cost of returning the goods is not more than €40.00, or if the purchaser in case of a higher price of the goods has not yet paid the charge or the instalment which was agreed on by contract by the date of cancellation. Otherwise the return is free of charge.
(6) The sales agreement is terminated after the return of the goods. The KETS Ltd. undertakes to reimburse payment within 14 days by bank remittance. Outstanding payments must be settled by the purchaser within 30 days after sending in the cancellation.
(7) In the case of a cancellation the purchaser is obliged to send back the goods he has already received forthwith to KETS Ltd., at the latest within 7 days.
